I wish it were you Chapter 643 His Explanation
Julissa ate quietly, occasionally sneaking glances at Scott across the table.He seemed relaxed now, the tension in his expression softened as he focused on his meal.Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.She set down her chopsticks and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Nichols… why did you come to the bar tonight?”Scott didn’t even pause. He continued eating as he replied, “I heard you were looking for Serena.”Her fingers tightened around her chopsticks. “Did Jerry tell you?”Scott smirked. “Of course. You thought I wouldn’t find out?”She swallowed. “I just… I overheard some employees saying that Time Group was in trouble because of me. That you lost a major project because of me.”Scott finally looked up, his dark eyes studying her carefully.“So, you decided to go and ‘fix’ it?”She nodded. “I thought if I apologized, she would let go of the grudge and reconsider working with Time Group.”Scott leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly.“There are two things I need to make clear,” h

Julissa pouted. "Sorry, Mr. Nichols, I didn't think it through...""This isn't your fault. I should have explained things more clearly to you," Scott said, surprisingly not scolding her. His gentleness made Julissa lower her head."However, I still think I should apologize today," she added.Scott chuckled and teased, "I'm actually curious. How did the fiery-tempered Julissa decide to humble herself and admit her mistake?"Julissa felt a bit awkward for a moment."Mr. Nichols, I've really reflected on my actions. I shouldn’t have struck first. When I did, it seemed like I gained some face, but in reality, I just put you in a passive position. I won’t do that again in the future."She looked like a child who had done something wrong, too afraid to look her parents in the face.Scott's gaze softened."When it comes to people you can't stand, if you argue with them, you’re lowering yourself to their level. Not only do you not win, but you also lose your dignity."Julissa nodded seriously

Julissa: “…”The sharp-tongued CEO truly wasn’t one for sweet words.But even in his bluntness, she could hear the affection he had for her.Compared to flowery compliments, she found his straightforwardness more sincere—more gentle, even.Lowering her head, she appeared to be focused on eating.In reality, she didn’t dare meet Scott’s gaze, nor did she have any idea what she was tasting.Her heart was in complete turmoil.After dinner, Scott observed her closely. Her face had regained some color, and her eyes looked brighter.It seemed her mood had improved.Checking his watch, he said, “Now, I really do have to go to the airport.”As he spoke, he picked up the coat draped over the sofa and put it on.Julissa wasn’t sure why, but watching him put on his coat and suddenly announce that he was leaving made her heart tighten.Just moments ago, she had thought he might find another excuse to stay.She had even planned ahead—if he stayed the night, she would take out the new set of bedshe

After reading the message, Julissa let out a silly laugh.It wasn’t anything particularly important—just a simple message to let her know he was safe.Scott’s text read: “Boarded. Landing at 5:40 AM.”She hesitated for a moment before deciding to reply with four simple words: “Safe travels.”A moment later, another message popped up.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”Even through the screen, Julissa could almost picture Scott frowning at her.She couldn’t exactly tell him that he was the reason for her insomnia, so she made up a little lie.“I woke up and got a drink of water.”“Mm.”That was it. Just a single word.Scott was a man of few words, never one for long conversations.Yet, in that simple “Mm,” Julissa felt like she could hear his emotions, see his expression, and even understand the words he didn’t say.—The following two weeks were quiet, even empty.Scott was in Tokyo, where the time difference was only an hour.But ever since that first night, he hadn’t messaged her for anyt

Every day, Annabelle found herself playing hide-and-seek with reporters, making it nearly impossible for her to focus on school.The constant harassment was driving her insane.It got even worse when some journalists managed to sneak into the campus, lurking outside her classroom. Their presence disrupted not only her studies but also inconvenienced her professors and classmates.Left with no choice, Annabelle had to temporarily stop attending in-person classes and switch to online courses.That gave a certain someone an opportunity to gloat.Mr. Gregory wasted no time in commenting, “Didn’t I warn you? The moment you accepted that endorsement deal, your life would become much more difficult. See? Now you can’t even attend school properly.”It was already late at night. He was in bed, his strong arm wrapped around the petite woman’s waist.Annabelle turned her back to him, deliberately ignoring him.But Kendrick wasn’t done. “How about I talk to Simon and tell him we’re canceling the

If she chose to terminate it, Kendrick would never agree. And even she wasn’t sure if she could go through with it.But if she kept it… it would become a permanent bond between them.Her work would have to be postponed, and she wouldn’t even be able to finish school.Was this Kendrick’s plan all along? To use a child to keep her from taking the endorsement?The thought made Annabelle furious.“Kendrick, how could you do this?”Caught off guard by the accusation, Mr. Gu looked utterly bewildered. “Do what?”“You’re trying to tie me down with a child, aren’t you?”She turned around and glared at him through the lingering steam.Kendrick let out a sigh. “You really think so poorly of me, huh?”“Can you honestly say you didn’t do it on purpose?”For once, Kendrick actually looked a little guilty. His voice was low and hoarse as he admitted, “At first, it really wasn’t intentional… but later, you didn’t say anything, so I thought you had agreed…”Annabelle’s face instantly turned red. “I—

The next morning, Annabelle woke up with Kendrick and made him a quick sandwich for breakfast.But she didn’t eat anything herself.Kendrick frowned. “Why aren’t you eating?”“I don’t have an appetite right now. I’ll eat later,” she replied.He didn’t press further, but just as he was about to leave, he noticed her putting on her coat and shoes as well.“You’re heading out?”Her expression was serious. “Mm. I’ll hitch a ride with you to the pharmacy.”Concern flashed in his eyes as he reached out to touch her forehead. “Are you feeling unwell?”Annabelle blushed and swatted his hand away.Kendrick instantly understood.A sly grin appeared on his face as he grabbed a scarf and wrapped it around her neck.“Let’s go.”—Kendrick pulled up in front of the pharmacy.Before getting out, Annabelle turned back and reminded him, “Drive safely.”But when she returned, she found his car still parked in the same spot.“You’re still here?” she asked, surprised.“Get in.”Confused but not arguing,

Kendrick had already done his research on Malina, Murphy Jewelry’s newly hired chief designer.Not only was Malina striking in appearance, but he was also exceptionally talented. His designs had repeatedly won international awards, earning him widespread recognition.But along with his talent came a streak of arrogance.Though his little wife wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied, and most employees here would likely be cautious given her status as the Madam of the Gregory Group, she still lacked experience in the workplace.And a man like Malina—someone who was used to doing things his own way—was unlikely to show her any special treatment just because she was someone’s wife.That was what made Kendrick uneasy.He worried that, as a newcomer, she might end up being underestimated or mistreated.So, he had arrived at Murphy Jewelry ahead of time—watching from the shadows.Not that he had anything urgent to do today anyway.Besides, once she was done, he could take her to a well-r

I wish it were you Chapter 970 Sweet Words Are Just Empty Talk
The faint scent of alcohol lingered on his breath, making Julissa’s ears grow hot. She blushed and gave a small nod.“And you?”Scott pulled her into a tighter embrace.“If I didn’t miss you, why would I come back two days early?”Julissa was both amused and a little exasperated.This guy—he always spoke in rhetorical questions. Couldn’t he just say, I missed you?Even when he confessed before, it was the same thing—made her think for a moment he was actually insulting her.Like, If I didn’t want to see you every day, why would I hire an assistant like you?It took her a good while to realize that was his version of a confession.But thinking about it more deeply… sweet words are just that—words.Even if Scott didn’t know how to be verbally romantic, did it really matter?He had driven all afternoon just to get back from Shadelake and surprise her. He’d even thoughtfully prepared gifts for her parents.That kind of sincerity meant more than anything he could’ve said.Julissa turned ar
I wish it were you Chapter 969 Take a Look at Her Little Pigsty
As Mrs. Hickman spoke, Julissa quietly glanced at Scott.She did hope he would stay.Not because she wanted a free ride to work the next morning.It was more like… she’d invited a friend over to play, and now that it was getting dark, she just couldn’t bear for them to leave—really wanted them to sleep over.But Scott smiled and said, “I’ll head back. It’s a quick drive anyway.”Julissa puffed out her cheeks and looked over at her parents.“Yeah, let him go. I’ve already set an alarm for 6 a.m.—I’ll get up early and squeeze into the subway. It’s fine, I can manage.”Scott frowned a little. “It is pretty far from your place to the office… want me to switch your schedule tomorrow?”Mr. Hickman glanced at his daughter and let out a small, helpless laugh.This mischievous girl… deliberately making herself sound so pitiful—early wake-ups, crowded commutes. But really, it’s just that she couldn’t bear to let her boyfriend leave.Oh well, daughters grow up. Might as well let her be.So final
I wish it were you Chapter 968 She’s a Woman, a Real Woman!
Actually, Julissa had already noticed that there was still one paper bag left untouched among the gifts Scott brought upstairs.If it wasn’t something for her parents, then why would he have brought it up?Now that both her mom and dad had gotten gifts, maybe… that last one was for her?So she sat obediently on the couch like a kindergartener waiting for the teacher to hand out presents, eyes sparkling with anticipation.Scott chuckled, gave her hand a gentle pat, and sure enough, picked up the final pink bag and handed it to her.“Here. Yours.”Julissa’s whole face lit up in an instant—She knew it! There’s no way Mr. Nichols would forget her!Inside the pink bag was a cream-colored, sturdy gift box. It looked elegant and refined. What kind of surprise would he have picked out for her?Heart full of excitement, Julissa opened the box.She saw her gift.How to describe the feeling… She was happy. Really.But there was also the tiniest bit of disappointment.Inside was a box of pastries
I wish it were you Chapter 967 A Little Bit of Bittersweet
Scott had seen plenty of Julissa’s careless moments.He especially remembered the time she casually grabbed a handful of tea leaves, tossed them into a cup, and poured in some hot water—voilà, tea.He’d never imagined that this same girl—his girlfriend—could be so calm and graceful.But right now, watching her quietly make tea, he realized: this quiet elegance seemed to reveal something deeper, something true to her nature.He had always felt that Julissa was a bundle of contradictions. Sometimes she was fiery and full of uncontainable energy, other times she was incredibly patient and resilient.Now, watching her make tea, sharing a meal with her parents, seeing their everyday family life up close—Scott finally started to understand.Julissa’s cheerful, sunny personality came from this warm and accepting little family of hers. But her quiet strength and simplicity, those clearly came from her down-to-earth parents.And the more he thought about it, the luckier he felt to have met som
I wish it were you Chapter 966 Not Ashamed, but Proud
Scott helped clear the table, but Mrs. Hickman chuckled as she took the empty plates from his hands.“Scott, go relax in the living room, I’ll handle the cleanup.”Then she turned to her daughter,“Julissa, don’t make more trouble for me—go brew some tea instead. It’s his first time visiting, you should keep him company.”Only then did Julissa give up her rare burst of enthusiasm for dishwashing and lead Scott out of the kitchen.First stop: washing their hands.While standing at the sink, Julissa whispered to Scott,“We have very clear division of labor at home. My dad cooks and mops the floors. My mom does the dishes and laundry. Basically, if she doesn’t like doing something, my dad does it.”Scott nodded with an expression of dawning understanding—no wonder her dad had vanished after dinner and was now chilling in the living room watching TV with zero guilt.“Then what about you?” he asked. “What’s your job?”Julissa blinked. For a second, she was stumped.What was her job at home

Mr. Hickman nodded,“You went to Shadelake for business?”“Yes,” Scott replied, “Had to attend a branch office opening.”Julissa sneaked a glance at him and noticed that whenever Scott spoke to her father, he was especially well-behaved—gentle, polite, not a trace of that usual icy CEO demeanor.Tsk tsk, she thought. Is the aloof version fake, or is this obedient one just an act?Either way, Julissa kind of loved this extra-sweet version of her CEO.After the brief greetings, Mr. Hickman returned to the dining room, while Mrs. Hickman fetched an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl for their guest.Scott changed into the house slippers and took off his suit jacket. Julissa quickly took it and hung it on the rack for him.“I’m going to wash my hands. Where’s the bathroom?”“I’ll show you.”So off she went, leading her boss boyfriend to the bathroom like a little tour guide. While Scott washed up, Julissa stood nearby with sparkly eyes, waiting patiently to hand him a towel.“Here, use mi

Mrs. Hickman’s eyes lit up.“Scott’s here?”Julissa looked completely confused.“I don’t know! He’s supposed to be on a business trip, said he won’t be back till the day after tomorrow. I’ll go take a look.”As she spoke, she was already slipping on her shoes and rushing out the door—her heart pounding like crazy the whole way down to the first floor.The moment she stepped out of the building, she saw a black SUV parked beside the path.And right next to the car stood none other than her devilishly handsome, endlessly charming CEO boyfriend—the very man she’d been missing day and night!He wore a deep navy designer suit, tie-less, with the top two buttons of his dress shirt undone—just the right mix of sexy and restrained.He looked like he’d just stepped out of a conference room, too busy to change into anything casual before rushing straight over.Scott spotted her too, a faint smile curling at his lips.Julissa’s heart basically took flight.Almost on instinct, she broke into a ru

Scott replied:“I’ll be back the afternoon after tomorrow.”Julissa slumped over her desk, resting her chin on the back of her hand as she typed one last message with the other.“My parents just got back from their trip. Anna dropped off some local goodies today—I'm bringing some over to my folks tonight, so I’ll stay at home for the next couple of days.”“Okay. Let’s talk tonight, after my meeting.”“Mm, okay.”After sending it, she turned off her screen.Saying “let’s talk tonight” basically just meant a one- or two-minute call.Scott’s schedule was packed down to the minute—there was no way he had time to stay on the phone chatting about “I miss you” or “I love you” type stuff.So even though they only talked for a few short minutes each night while he was away, Julissa still felt content.Besides, he really did try to meet her halfway—asking her what she had for dinner, how her day went, little things like that.And just thinking about their nightly check-in already had her lookin

“Anna, you must have plenty of love rivals too—how do you deal with them?”Julissa asked, still brooding.Annabelle thought for a moment.“I don’t think I’ve ever really had to deal with them… Kendrick usually handles it himself.”“...”What else could Julissa say to that?Seriously, finding a mature, level-headed man who knows how to handle relationships—That was peace of mind money couldn’t buy.To be fair, Scott wasn’t bad in that regard either, but that didn’t stop people from liking him.And that—that was what annoyed her.Annabelle chuckled.“Your Scott is excellent—of course people are going to like him. You can’t control that. Just make sure he only likes you. That’s what matters.”Julissa nodded silently. “Makes sense.”Funny thing was, that was exactly the kind of thing she used to say to Anna.She never thought that once it happened to her, she’d be the one overthinking everything.“Alright, enough of that—come look at the local goodies I brought you.”And just like that,
